Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces for uniform cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash slightly with a potato masher or large fork.
Heat the almond milk until warm, avoiding bringing it to a boil.
Add the warm almond milk, sautéed garlic with oil, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice to the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Transfer the creamed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
